Colin is 2} Toddler Photography/Melbourne Beach, Fl
Colin is 2! Yes, & that's a great age to have fun but photographing a 2 year old can be a little challenging...just keeping up with them is challenging! Getting a portrait-memory can be even more difficult but I find the best photos just come from letting them have free reign, chasing them around & letting things unfold in a natural, happy, smiley face kind of way. After all, that's the point of natural settings vs. the studio portrait, which is stiff, predictable & miserable....for children/DADS especially. I'll bet most of us can remember Mom dragging us out on a Saturday morning to a studio for that family photo in which everyone was grumbling........then, sit......fake smile.....resume grumbling....
Stephanie, Colin's Mom, is super athletic and strong, which is a good thing because, to my surprise, she could lift him up and swing him around even though he is solid weight! Gave him the best smiles ever. What kid doesn't like to fly with Mom?! I think we made out pretty good in spite of the heat, bugs, chasing, calling ("this way, Colin", "Is that a butterfly over here?") and more! Enjoy your little guy.......at the rate he's growing, I'll be scheduling his senior photo session next week!
Next is my favv.......
